Contact + Friction + Separation
What is Static?
Essentially, a static charge arises when an external force
causes electrons to be stripped from an atom leaving
it with an excess of protons and a net positive charge.
The electrons attach to a recipient atom, which will
consequently have an excess of electrons and will be
negatively charged.
What causes Static?
The most common causes are Friction, Pressure and
Separation. Examples range from the unwinding of
plastic films to the everyday occurrences of shocks from
cars and door knobs. Other causes include Induction,
whereby an insulator material can become charged if it
is brought into an electrical field. Temperature change
can also generate a static charge; a good example is the
generation of static charges on injection mouldings as
they cool.
Does this affect all materials?
Electrons can be stripped from practically all atoms
by one or more of the above processes. However if
it occurs where one of the materials is conductive,
that material will not hold the charge (assuming it is
grounded), whereas if the material is an insulator
(non-conductive) the charge will be unable to move
across the surface and literally becomes a static pool of
electrical charges.
What other factors are relevant?
The charge polarity is not normally an issue. But, it is
the magnitude of the charge that will cause problems
or not. Equally, many items each with a small charge
can act as an accumulator to produce a very high
static voltage (the battery effect); an example of
this is a container of small plastic parts that have just
been moulded. The force of any friction, pressure or
separation event will directly impact the magnitude of
the charge generated, so the higher the input energy,
the greater the charge. The type of material will
dramatically affect the polarity and charge produced.
Materials have different electron bond strengths, so
some materials will give up electrons relatively easily.
This phenomenon is described by the triboelectric
series. Lastly, the level of ambient humidity will play a
role in both the magnitude and life of a static charge.

Series

What are the problems?
There are at least 5 major areas where uncontrolled static
charges are of concern:
Product misbehaviour
Most commonly used packaging materials are
non-conductive. The friction and separation experienced
in the processing of such materials generates static
charges that can cause blockages in even the most
modern machine design. Loss of productivity and profit
can result.
Dust attraction
Neutral airborne particles are attracted to charged
surfaces and charged particles are attracted to neutral
surfaces. The resultant problems can lead to high reject
rates, high levels of rework, customer complaints and
loss of credibility.
Operator/Personnel shocks
The static voltage that leads to an unpleasant shock
when getting out of a car is of the order of 15kV. Yet
levels of 20-60kV are commonplace in the plastics and
converting industries. Not only are shocks from such
charges discomforting, the recoil effect can lead to more
serious accidents.
Fires and explosions
Where a process is carried out in a combustible
atmosphere, static charges can have sufficient energy to
cause ignition. This can occur where a grounded object
intensifies the static field to produce a spark, or where
a charge on an isolated conductor (e.g. a non-grounded
metal plate) reaches a threshold level and flashes over
to a proximity ground. Consequent fires or explosions
can result not only in the loss of production time but, in
extreme cases, the loss of complete factories!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
This is most common in the electronics industry, where
a side effect of the drive to smaller scales of circuit is an
increase in product sensitivity to static charges. 30 volts
is now the common threshold for semiconductors, and
hard disk reader heads can be susceptible to charges
of less than 3 volts. Problems can arise not only in
component assembly but also in later use of the finished
product.

AC Static Elimination
A normal mains 110/240V, 50/60Hz AC supply is
increased by a special transformer to typically 7kV AC.
This high voltage is carried by a shielded HV cable to
the static eliminator, where it is connected to an array
of emitter pins that are stressed by the elevated voltage
in proximity to an earthed surface. This creates a high
energy "corona" or "ion cloud", in which a very large
number of positive and negative ions are generated. As
the AC cycle changes, either positive or negative ions
are produced in approximately equal quantities.
A statically charged surface of either polarity passing
close to this ion cloud will be quickly neutralised.

Pulsed DC Static Elimination
Whereas an AC system is limited to generating ions in
accordance with the frequency of the AC supply, Pulsed
DC technology allows control of not only frequency but
also ion balance (the relative proportion of positive and
negative ions). Mains voltage is transformed into high
voltage that is split into positive and negative outputs
and connected to dedicated emitters. Alternating
clouds of positive and negative ions are produced in
accordance with the chosen frequency setting (between
0.5 and 20Hz). The lower frequencies allow longer
distance ionisation to be achieved in still air whilst the
balance control allows the ion output to be adjusted
to suit the charge polarity on the target. Thus, Pulsed
DC systems can offer optimum solutions for specific
materials and more demanding applications.

Static Generation
Static Generation describes a method for creating a
controlled static charge on a non - conductive material
that will allow a sound, but temporary, adhesion between
surfaces with charges of opposite polarity. A high DC
voltage (up to 50kV) is safely produced and is carried
through a HV cable to a static generator bar, where it is
connected to an array of suitably designed emitter pins to
generate a "corona". The DC voltage may be positive or
negative, depending on the application and the
characteristics of the materials to be bonded. The emitter
pins are positioned within close proximity of a grounded
surface (fig.1) or, for greater effect, a generator bar with
emitter pins of the opposite polarity (fig.2). The material(s)
to be bonded are passed into the "corona", resulting in
bonding to the grounded surface or to the other material.

AC Power Supplies
Due to the fact static cant be seen by the naked eye, it is often not considered as a cause of production problems.
However, with our operator experience and Meechs expertise in static control solutions, we quickly identifed where
improvements could be made. The Meech systems now enable us to run our rewinding machines at twice the previous
speed and have eliminated potential quality problems. Time is also saved with the Feedback automatic control system
and operators are no longer concerned about the possibility of shocks due to static built up. Everyone from the
management to the machine operators are delighted with the results.

Static Generation - IML
Options
Hydra splitters
Installation of pulsed DC bars
on wide machinery can be
made easier by installing a
series of interconnected bars.
Hydra HT Ultra Flexible Cable
The effective range of bars
can be increased by the
addition of an air-boost
system.
Customers opinion:
People have to accept that they may need to equip either the press or the fnishing equipment with a static
elimination system if it is needed, the solution is quite straightforward and it is usually inexpensive, particularly
when you take into account the usual improvements to productivity.
